Abstract
This article is based on the research project Concepts of Participation of Law Students in Colombia, carried out in ten Law undergraduate programs in five different regions of the country. The methodological approach is qualitative and quantitative. This article shows the understanding of participation as an utopia. In the conclusions it proposes a pluralist Law education, highlights the tensions on participation between the constitution of 1886 and that of 1991, and also emphasizes the need to sharply improve the educational practices for law students in Colombia. Finally, it shows some emergent hypotheses of the study.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
